Trying the Canon 85mm 1.8 with extension tubes
1

Hi,

For those interested in the result given by the 85mm 1.8 when used with extension tubes, here are two full size samples (SOOC) taken with a 6D...

Lavender, F/5.6 1/80s iso100

Spider, F/5.6 1/80s iso400

I used a full set (68mm) of Kenko DG extension tubes. Giving, when used at minimum focusing distance, a 0.9x magnification.

Shot taken at minimum focusing distance, those are centimetres not inches

Nice. I have a Fotodiox set of tubes and the 85/1.8 works well with them.
